Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The New Year has finally arrived, and the whole of Konoha is filled with a joyful atmosphere. After all, this year is another year of peace without war.

Karin had a rare vacation, and began to play around with her friends.

But Aoba actually knew that although Karin said she was going out to play, she often went to Naruto to give him some delicious food.

Perhaps because she had experienced the life of being displaced with her mother, Karin was very concerned about this fellow tribesman of Konoha. She often found various excuses to take away some delicious food and send it to him.

In fact, even if she asked directly, Aoba and Yumi would not refuse. It's just that the little girl might have regarded this as an interesting ninja game. She often steals food for Naruto under Aoba's nose. Aoba pretends not to see it. After Yumi knows there is such a fan, she often turns a blind eye.

"Come to think of it, I knew Kushina back then. But she is the little princess of the Uzumaki clan, and I am just a commoner. We didn't have much in common. I remember that she was a very cheerful and kind girl."

"Yes, everyone in Konoha says that Kushina is a very good person. It's a pity that good people in this world don't always get good rewards."

"How did Kushina... die?"

Yumi suddenly asked this question. This made Aoba look sideways.

"I'm not a ninja. But if possible, I'd like to do something for our Uzumaki clan. I've heard that the child named Naruto doesn't live well in the village.

But I don't understand, isn't he the child of Kushina and the previous Hokage? Why is he..."

"This is a very complicated question, basically representing the darkest and dirtiest side of Konoha. The kind that can't be washed away by any reason."

"Really?" Yumi was silent for a while. Then suddenly said.

"What will happen if the fusion experiment of the first generation cells you mentioned succeeds?"

"It will make me very powerful. Strong vitality, huge chakra, and even possible awakening of the first generation's Wood Release Bloodline Limit."

"In other words, if it succeeds, it will make you very powerful?"

"Yes."

"Then can I do it too."

Aoba finally understood what Yumi meant.

"Do you want to be a ninja?"

"Yes, although I'm a little old. But if I can, I hope to become a ninja."

"Why?"

Aoba hesitated, because before this, Yumi had not shown this tendency. She seemed to be satisfied with her current life, as if she just wanted to watch Karin grow up healthily. But now...

"I just saw and thought a lot during these days in Konoha. This world is not safe, even Konoha. You are already so powerful. But you still practice hard every day and conduct dangerous experiments.

Although you didn't say anything. But I can feel that you are worried about something. Will we face some danger in the future?"

Yumi's keen insight made Aoba stunned for a while. He thought about it and did not hide it.

"Yes, in the future, we will experience some great danger. With my current strength, it is far from enough to protect myself, let alone you."

"Really? Is that why you train Karin so strictly?"

"That's right. Karin has great potential, and I need her to develop it as soon as possible. Only in this way can we have a chance of winning in the future."

To be honest, even if Aoba is a time traveler. But in this world, he, who has no bloodline and no plug-ins, will still feel anxious about the future.

Those enemies hidden in the dark, Uchiha Obito, Nagato, Uchiha Madara, even Black Zetsu, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and those guys on the moon.

Each of these enemies is the kind of person who has opened the plug-in to the extreme. Obito has the strongest Mangekyo in the whole story. Nagato is not bad, but he is an idealist. This thing is more dangerous than being bad in a sense.

And Uchiha Madara, the most charming villain in Naruto. The sense of oppression he brings to Aoba is too strong. Now that Aoba can fight with the Raikage, everyone thinks he is a great master.

But he knows clearly that in the later period, Uchiha Madara beat the five Kages together by himself. That kind of oppressive feeling, the ninja body illusion is all around

An invincible fighting force. Let all those who face him despair.

The most important thing is that he had not yet taken back his Samsara Eye at that time. When he got it back and achieved the Six Paths, Aoba didn't even want to think about that scene.

As for Kaguya Otsutsuki later, Aoba didn't even consider the problem of that clan for the time being.

Thinking about the future of this world, he can only say that he is still a little far away from it now, too far away.

"Let me help you? Teach me to be a ninja." Yumi said firmly.

"It's not impossible. But not now. Your body is overdrawn too much. And extracting chakra will overdraw your body again. In that case, you will die before you can wait for anything."

"Then let me start that kind of experiment. Didn't you say that the physique of our Uzumaki clan would have a higher success rate?"

"Yes, according to my research. The Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan should be close relatives. The possibility of your cell fusion is indeed very high. But you can see that the experiment has not been successful yet.

How about this, you start learning the theory first. In addition to fighting, there is actually another type of ninja, medical ninja. And to become a medical ninja, you need a lot of theoretical knowledge. After all, not all injuries and diseases can be treated with chakra."

"Medical ninja? I understand, give me the information and I'll start right away."

Yumi is very serious, and Aoba will naturally not refuse. But he thought about it and still spoke.

"Yumi, you can learn these. But I want you to promise me one thing. Never use your special physique to save people. Really, not even once. The human heart..."

"I know, the human heart is terrible. Once I open a hole, it will be irreversible in the future. I understand what you mean, Aoba. But I refuse."

"You..."

"Listen to me, I won't let anyone bite my body. But you are an exception. Aoba, Karin and I can be your assistants. Even if I can't become a ninja. But I hope I can still help you. Please don't refuse, this is one of the few things I can do for you."

"...Mom, Mom..." Karin's voice interrupted the two.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

"..."
